Firefox (ver 17.0.1) in archapps is now outdated, and because it's hard to maintain with its frequent updates my plan is to switch to ESR (Extended Support Release). See ESR overview here http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/faq/. I will add ESR-17.0.2 that will recieve security updates until firefox 19. Also will compile transmission to use qt for user interface, as in latest versions support for gtk2 is removed.

did you solved the Wired LAN problem. Have you tried the commandline pns-tool? It could be some firmwire file is missing?

@stifiling I agree with your approach to making archpup as flexible as possible. However, simply stating number of users or youtube views doesnt mean anything - if it did Windows would be the best OS._________________helping Wiki for help

Any suggestion what boot code to load the Arch sfs
with the Firefox at boot? I use grup4dos menulist

Iuse this for lupu would that work for archpup too?

Edit from within ArchPup but have not tested things other
than rebooting creating savefile and doing load sfs of firefox

Haha most likely one don\t need both rootnoverify (hd0,0)
and (hd0,0) everywhere. I am too hasty not thinking things through.

So what am I supposed to test what is important to know?

not an ideal solution though

I installed in frugal install Archpup next to my puppy (the metropuppy) on my Compaq Presario 2100 528MB ram.

I had a previous experience Archlinux and a great keepsake of this distribution in reinforced concrete, very educational and pacman (or yaourt) hyper efficient.
it works fine, I even wifi with my PCMCIA D-link card !

Thank you for this great job: hold good: just seen too new and Puppy disappear, not that one please.

Question: are there in the forum of French speaking people in order to help people like me for this distribution?

I first used setxkbmap se but so much have made a typo
now it works thanks.

How does one tell it to use mplayer instead of what it uses now
to play mp3?_________________I use Google Search on Puppy Forum

mavrothal: adrv will be there even if only 2 or 3 MB, because it will allow easy remasters with different DE, window managers, or in other languages. I will continue to make separate archapps with my prefered applications, so it will be there for those who wants to use it. Also I think that all hard work around adrv is done, it would be bad to throw that away.

Well, I guess this is one reason we have so many distros and pupplets (with so few users each ).

However, I still believe that offering a complete package in the ISO is a good idea if you want to go beyond linux enthusiasts.
On the other hand I have no wish to build an Archpup spin.
So here is what I did:

The attached initrd1-3.patch and initrd2-3.patch files will add also a YDRV sfs in the union!
So now you can have 3 SFSs (besides zdrv) that will autoload if found.

Currently the YDRV name is set to "archapps-12.12.sfs" but can be changes as needed in DIDTRO_SPECS.
Th 1-3 patch is for the original 12.12 sfs while the 2-3 patch is for today's version (with the adrv sfs)

Hopefully someone will put it to use...
Of course an ISO with the 3 SFSs will be bigger than 80MB but you'll be actually able to do something with it (other than download packages).

If you want to test it here is an initrd.gz that will load the 3 sfs.
The relevant names as included in DISTRO_SPECS are:

Newly added package musl (for building static binaries) in archdev.sfs made problem in this: after ldconfig that is run on every boot it switches /usr/lib/libc.so symbolic link target from libc-2.16.so to ld-musl-i386.so.1. That breakes compiling of some packages , so I made new archdev-12.12.2.sfs with this coflicting package removed. Sorry for the inconvenience.Last edited by simargl on Fri 11 Jan 2013, 16:55; edited 1 time in total

Pls look at the French, German, Spanish sections of the forum: I did open a thread on Archpup. But I will not answer myself in those days because I did have a terrible death at home and have actually other things to bring in order! I hoppe that other contibutors will help. The chances are good to get answer as with have divers really good contributors of Quebec.
